Julie's Genealogy & History Hub

I’ve not been blogging too much since I’ve been busy scanning photos for the last few weeks.  When you get into a rhythm, you just don’t wanna stop!  I have many things to share and hope to be writing a lot more very soon.

The 6th Edition of Smile for the Camera is upon us. This edition is being hosted by Becky Wiseman @ kinexxions. Becky’s word prompt for the 6th Edition of Smile For The Camera is Funny Bone. Show us that picture that never fails to bring a smile to your face! An amusing incident, a funny face, an unusual situation. Share! Choose a photograph of an ancestor, relative, yourself, or an orphan photograph that tickles your Funny Bone and bring it to the carnival. Admission is free with every photograph!

My husband and I spent the afternoon at an antique mall in El Paso, Illinois.  I picked up some neat things and some great orphan photos.  Here are my finds.

Denise Levenick over at The Family Curator has challenged us Genea-Bloggers to a treasure hunt.  Here’s the deal: Select your destination. You probably have a genealogy Magic Cupboard in your house, too. Or maybe it’s a Secret Desk, a Treasure chest, or a Box of Wonders. (Some people call them a rat’s nest, Fibber McGee’s Closet, or just plain “stuff”.) It’s the place you put those valuable photos, documents, or relics to take care of “later.” The longer you live in one place, the more the magic grows.
